Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
We will come to the life of two singers, best friends Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw. They travel to Paris pursued by a private detective hired by Lorelei's fiancé's disapproving father, who is a rich, enamoured old man and many other doting admirers.

Howard Hawks' joyous musical comedy of 1953 is the film that catapulted Marilyn Monroe to major stardom and iconic status as sex symbol.
January 26, 2011
For all the three-dimensional attractions of its two leading ladies, this is a rather flat cinemusical.
May 13, 2008
A strong play to the sophisticated dialog and situations is given by Howard Hawks' direction and he maintains the racy air that brings the musical off excellently at a pace that helps cloak the fact that it's rather lightweight, but sexy, stuff.

There is not one single moment when these characters, or this rightful classic, wear out their welcome.
July 26, 2014
Classic musical romp with dated premise is silly fun.

Howard Hawks adds sly sexual insinuation to the blatantly sexual antics of Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell in this scintillating 1953 adaptation of the stage musical based on Anita Loos's novel.

You won't find a more elegant take on '50s va-va-voom vulgarity or a more joyous paean to the cheesecake self-empowerment of two little girls from Little Rock.
August 01, 2012
An unusually perfect marriage of star, scenario, dialogue, director, and music.
February 26, 2010
Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell melt the screen as the two little girls from Little Rock seeking Mr Right (or at least Mr Right(TM)s bank account). It(TM)s enjoyable, escapist fluff, with a killer finale.
February 26, 2010
If camp comedy capering (don't call it a social satire!) isn't your thing, it's worth the ticket to see Monroe's iconic and flawlessly choreographed performance of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (TM): a perfect four minutes of film.

If there's a single film that could shatter Laura Mulvey's theory of the "male gaze" it's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
August 03, 2010
There's more warmth in [Russell's] fondly bemused looks at Monroe, whose friendship is a front-row ticket to the best show in town.
